The UN Security Council Authorizes Untac In Cambodia

15 March 1992

The largest and most expensive peacekeeping operation in UN history was recently authorized by the Security Council. This is UNTAC - the UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia. The goal is to hold free elections before the start of the monsoon season in 1993. UN civilian administrators will take direct control of vital government functions while the military's most difficult task will be to disarm close to 20,000 Cambodians and confine them to designated cantonments.
